Don&#8217;t panic, installing Git is a relatively simple task. Just head over to the official Git website (https:\/\/git-scm.com\/downloads) and download the latest version for your operating system. Easy peasy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Configuring_Git_in_Visual_Studio_You_Got_It\"><\/span>Step 2: Configuring Git in Visual Studio? You Got It!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that Git is installed, we can move on to the next step: configuring Git in Visual Studio. But how does one even begin this mind-bending task? Here&#8217;s what you gotta do:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open Visual Studio and select &#8220;Tools&#8221; from the menu bar.<\/li>\n<li>Select &#8220;Options&#8221; from the &#8220;Tools&#8221; menu.

Say What?!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Alright, you configured Git in Visual Studio, now what? How about creating a Git repository for your Visual Studio project? That sounds like fun, right? Here&#8217;s what you gotta do:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open Visual Studio and open the project you want to add to the Git repository. Almost there!<\/li>\n<li>Open the &#8220;Solution Explorer&#8221; window by selecting &#8220;View&#8221; from the menu bar and then selecting &#8220;Solution Explorer&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Right-click on the project and select &#8220;Add Solution to Source Control&#8221;. One small step for a developer, one giant leap for Git-kind.<\/li>\n<li>Select the &#8220;Git&#8221; option in the &#8220;Add to Source Control&#8221; dialog box and click &#8220;OK&#8221;. Woohoo, you did it!<\/li>\n<li>Visual Studio will now create a local Git repository for your project. Mind-blowing stuff, isn&#8217;t it?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Commit_Push_Rinse_and_Repeat\"><\/span>Step 4: Commit, Push, Rinse, and Repeat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;re on a roll, dear developer. You have your Git repository set up, now it&#8217;s time to start committing and pushing changes to Git. Here&#8217;s what you gotta do:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In the &#8220;Solution Explorer&#8221; window, right-click on the file you want to commit and select &#8220;Commit&#8221;. Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy.<\/li>\n<li>In the &#8220;Commit Changes&#8221; dialog box, enter a commit message that reflects the changes you made to the file. Simple, yet effective.<\/li>\n<li>Click &#8220;Commit&#8221; to save the changes. Bravo, dear developer, bravo.<\/li>\n<li>To push the changes to the Git server, select &#8220;Actions&#8221; from the &#8220;Team Explorer&#8221; window and select &#8220;Push&#8221;.
